#civil engineering canals and irrigation

[doomspaniels]

Today we are learning Civil Engineering! We are exploring canals and irrigation.

Afterwards we went through the wading pool a few times and then dumped it. That's some fine, dusty sand, and it makes sticky sloppy mud. Good day for it, though, still under heatwave conditions.

[Video Description: Tristan, a black and white cocker spaniel, splashes in water at the edge of a puddle. As he splashes, he digs out the edges of the puddle, and water flows toward him in new rivulets. The first time he jumps backwards as the water rushes towards him, but afterwards he lets it run--has he done this before, with a bigger puddle? Sounds: splashing in water, and behind us, horses banging buckets as they eat.]

Good grief he's adorable 😄

MODERN HISTORY

2ND BLOG _ The Indus Valley Civilization / HISTORICAL EVENT

The Indus Valley Civilization was one of the oldest urban civilizations, dating from 2500 BC to 1500 BC. Although research is still being done on how they handled the issue of water conservation in this interesting part of the world, some advanced water conservation and management practices can be named. In fact, the covered drains that run under the streets of the ruins of Mohenjodaro and Harappa show that their inhabitants were well versed in hygiene. The relevance that exists in relation to the problems of excessive water consumption and the events that occurred within this civilization are interestingly compatible, since at this point in the blog is where my theory is that in ancient times, water consumption was not as excessive as it is today, the reasons for this is not only because there was less population at that time, but because people knew how to distribute and appreciate the resources provided by the earth and they respected it very much. 

The Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished along the banks of the Indus River and other parts of western and northern India about 5,000 years ago, had one of the most sophisticated urban water supply and sanitation systems in the world. Ruins such as Mohenjo-Daro in Sindh and Dholavira in Gujarat had settlements with some of the most sophisticated sanitation systems in the ancient world. They included drainage canals, rainwater harvesting, and street sewers. Sewage was disposed of through underground drains built with precisely laid bricks, and an elaborate water management system with numerous reservoirs was established. In the drainage systems, the drains from the houses were connected to the wider public drains laid along the main streets. The drains had holes at regular intervals for cleaning and inspection. Water from bathrooms on the roofs and upper floors was carried through closed terracotta pipes or open chutes that emptied into the street drains.

Some of the cities of this civilization contributed in a certain way to the conservation of water, since they had their own irrigation systems that allowed the conservation of water in a better way. These cities are the following:

Dholavira: One of the oldest water´s harvesting systems is located about 130 km from Pune along Naneghat in the Western Ghats. A large number of cisterns were carved into the rocks to provide drinking water to the traders who traveled along this ancient trade route. Each fort in the area had its own water harvesting and storage system in the form of rock-cut cisterns, ponds, tanks and wells, which are still in use today. A large number of forts like Raigad had tanks that supplied water.

Western Rajasthan: In ancient times, houses in parts of western Rajasthan were built so that each had a water harvesting system on the roof. Rainwater from these roofs was channeled into underground tanks. This system can still be seen today in all the forts, palaces and houses of the region.

Jodhpur: The old city of Jodhpur has over 200 stepwells, built from around the 6th century as part of an incredibly sophisticated water architecture," he explains. During the little rain the region receives between June and September, water is diverted from canals built on the hilly outskirts of the city to man-made tanks, or talabs.

In addition, one of the main figures in water conservation in this civilization were the engineers and urban planners, who were in charge of drainage systems and so on. They were known to have extensive knowledge on how to conserve water.

The results obtained by this civilization in terms of water conservation are the different implementations they gave to water conservation related to the system they had to maintain cleanliness at the time of using the water resource. The effects they had on the future plans of water conservation are mainly positive, since it is well known that this civilization was an intelligent and organized one, that knew how to control its resources very well and how to improve day by day, but above all, to do it in peace with the environment.

If we want to go deeper into this topic of the Indus civilization and water conservation, let's make a connection with the present time. Actually, water conservation is so important especially in environmental topics that are given in schools or in those talks that are given in any convention, but the thing here is that how could it be possible? Well, the answer is because of the ancient civilization that paved the way for us and made it easier for us to continue to practice water conservation today.

To finish this blog, let's review everything about this historical event, basically the Indus Valley civilization makes it easier for actual people to organize well water and not make such a mistake when we have to preserve it in the right way. If we start to become aware of this whole problem and start to organize our resources in the best possible way like this civilization did, we can probably improve all over the world with this issue of conniving water for a better change in general.

Modern History: Ancient Roman Aqueducts

The Roman Empire is known for its impressive aqueduct system, which transported water over long distances to support their cities. This early engineering marvel laid the groundwork for modern water supply systems and emphasized the importance of efficient water distribution. Lessons from these aqueducts continue to inform water management practices today.

Roman aqueduct systems were built over a period of about 500 years, from 312 B.C.E. to C.E. 226. Both public and private funds paid for construction. The Roman aqueduct was a channel used to transport fresh water to highly populated areas. Aqueducts were amazing feats of engineering given the time period. Though earlier civilizations in Egypt and India also built aqueducts, the Romans improved on the structure and built an extensive and complex network across their territories.

High-ranking rulers often had them built; the Roman emperors Augustus, Caligula, and Trajan all ordered aqueducts built. Aqueducts required a great deal of planning. They were made from a series of pipes, tunnels, canals, and bridges. Gravity and the natural slope of the land allowed aqueducts to channel water from a freshwater source, such as a lake or spring, to a city. 

As water flowed into the cities, it was used for drinking, irrigation, and to supply hundreds of public fountains and baths. The most recognizable feature of Roman aqueducts may be the bridges constructed using rounded stone arches. Some of these can still be seen today traversing European valleys. The capital in Rome alone had around 11 aqueduct systems supplying freshwater from sources as far as 92 kilometers away (57 miles).

Ancient Roman aqueducts, a marvel of engineering from over two millennia ago, hold significant relevance to contemporary water-related issues. For example, Roman aqueducts have been relevant nowadays demonstrating the feasibility of transporting water over long distances through complex networks of channels and pipes. This engineering legacy has directly influenced modern water supply systems and the design of pipelines and aqueducts used today. 

In short, Roman aqueducts were a system of water supply and distribution constructed by the ancient Romans. These aqueducts were an intricate network of channels, pipes, and tunnels designed to transport fresh water from natural sources, such as springs and rivers, to cities, towns, and industrial facilities throughout the Roman Empire. Roman aqueducts were essential for sustaining the growth and development of Roman cities, as they provided a reliable source of clean water for drinking, sanitation, and various industrial processes.

The Nile River: The Impact on Farming

Continuing on my journey through time, I find myself on the banks of the Nile River once again. Here, amidst the fertile soil of the Nile River valley, I witnessed the marvels of agricultural innovation that fueled the rise of one of history's greatest civilizations. The ingenuity of the ancient Egyptians was evident in their sophisticated irrigation techniques, which transformed the arid landscape into a thriving agricultural paradise. As I beheld the intricate network of canals and ditches that crisscrossed the land, I marveled at the Egyptians' mastery of hydraulic engineering. For example, the Egyptians’ made the “most of the annual rising and falling of the Nile, the Egyptians dug channels and walls to divert flood water away from cities and towards fields for farming. This was called basin irrigation.” (BBC, Ch. 3) These irrigation channels were so effective that to this day they are still in use and are beginning to be modernized, “The minister of agriculture noted that modern irrigation will boost productivity by 30-40 percent, and that the first phase will include the governorates of Qalyubiyah and Beni Suef. He added that the ministry is currently raising awareness among farmers on the benefits of switching from traditional to modern irrigation methods.”(Cario, Par. 3)

Among the most remarkable agricultural innovations I encountered was the humble shaduf, a simple yet effective water-lifting device that revolutionized farming practices. “They also invented tools like the shaduf. A shaduf is a long pole with a bucket attached to the end, which people could use to raise and move water from rivers or lakes onto land.”(BBC, Ch. 3) Watching as farmers deftly operated the shaduf to draw water from the Nile and irrigate their fields, I was struck by the profound impact such ingenuity had on increasing agricultural productivity. Coupled with the introduction of plows and oxen, which enabled farmers to cultivate larger areas of land more efficiently, these innovations laid the foundation for the empire's prosperity and growth.

The Ancient Roman aqueduct in modern-day Turkey, dating back thousands of years, is a testament to the incredible engineering and architectural skills of the Roman Empire. These aqueducts were designed to transport fresh water to densely populated areas, and they were a significant improvement over the earlier structures built by civilizations in Egypt and India. The Roman aqueducts were constructed over a period of 500 years, from 312 BC to AD 226, and were funded by both public and private sources. Some of the most famous Roman rulers, such as Augustus, Caligula, and Trajan, commissioned the construction of these aqueducts.

The aqueducts were made up of pipes, tunnels, canals, and bridges, which utilized the natural slope of the land and gravity to channel water from sources like lakes and springs to the cities. Once the water reached the cities, it was used for various purposes, including drinking, irrigation, public fountains, and baths. The capital city of Rome had as many as 11 aqueduct systems, some of which were sourced from as far as 92 km (57 miles) away.

Interestingly, some of these ancient Roman aqueducts are still functional and continue to provide modern-day Rome with water. For example, the Aqua Virgo, an aqueduct built by Agrippa in 19 BC during the reign of Augustus, supplies water to the iconic Trevi Fountain in the heart of Rome. This remarkable feat of engineering demonstrates the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire and its impact on the development of modern infrastructure.

WATER CONSERVATION IN HISTORY

Humans have relied on public water resources for their survival and progress throughout history, dating back to the establishment of permanent villages millennia ago. Yet, in the early stages of civilization, the challenges of securing a consistent and clean water supply were met with a seemingly straightforward solution: relocation. When wells were exhausted by overuse or rivers contaminated with human waste, these early inhabitants simply uprooted their settlements, seeking pristine, untouched locations. However, as societies evolved, particularly in arid regions of the Middle East, Africa, and China, where burgeoning cities and permanent agricultural lands demanded a stable water supply, the concept of water conservation was born. These ancient civilizations grappled with the necessity of safeguarding their water resources, setting the stage for the development of the world's first water conservation practices.

Throughout history societies have succeeded, in part, because of water management plans that ensured a steady supply of unpolluted water through periods of drought (prolonged shortage of rain) and flood. The desert empires of Mesopotamia and Egypt flourished by using elaborate irrigation (crop watering) and plumbing systems to distribute water from the rivers Tigris, Euphrates, and Nile to cities and croplands. The Ancient Greeks constructed drainage systems and huge stone sewers at the palace of King Minos at Knossos on the island of Crete almost 5,000 years ago. Water engineering was one of the great hallmarks of the Roman Empire. The Romans built aqueducts, canals, irrigation systems, city sewers, and indoor plumbing throughout their vast empire. (The modern English word plumber comes from the Latin word for lead, plumbus, and the ingenious Roman lead workers, plumberium, who engineered the world's first reliable indoor plumbing.)

Civilizations and empires have also failed because of poor water conservation practices or water management. Populations that have overused their water supplies or have allowed their water to become polluted have suffered serious consequences. Many archeologists attribute the mysterious disappearance of the Anasazi people from the American Southwest to inadequate water supply. Diseases caused by poor sanitation and poisoning from lead pipes were, ironically, two factors that contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire. Improper waste management has also played a major role in the spread of diseases such as the bubonic plague that killed millions of Europeans during the Middle Ages. Waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, typhus, and dysentery thrive where sewers bearing waste from infected persons empty into a public water supply. Scientists only began to understand the dangers of microscopic bacteria in sewage-polluted water after an epidemic of cholera killed thousands of people in Europe and the United States in the 1830s.

History of the American conservation movement. The idea of conservation only began to gain popularity in the United States at the end of the 1800s. Until then the North American frontier had provided seemingly inexhaustible natural resources, including abundant fresh water. By the 1890s however, European settlement had reached across the entire continent, and the census of 1890 declared the American frontier closed. Unrestricted sport hunting had slaughtered the bison herds of the Great Plains and killed off the flocks of passenger pigeons that once migrated (traveled periodically) down the Atlantic coast. Logging, grazing, mining, and hydropower (power from water energy) development threatened America's most dramatic national landmarks. Niagara Falls, for example, nearly lost its untamed water flow.

The Gilded Age at the end of the nineteenth century was also a time of unregulated resource exploitation and social inequality that made conservation an appealing idea to the general American public and to government leaders. Powerful businessmen of the mining, timber, railroad, and ranching industries became immensely wealthy as they laid waste to America's pristine forests, prairies, wetlands and waterways. At the same time, most Americans saw their living standards decline. Without government oversight, laborers, owners of small businesses, and independent settlers were at the mercy of the economically and politically powerful industrialists. While the powerful of the gilded age enjoyed luxurious estates and the diversions of high society, average Americans received low wages, worked in poor conditions, and lived in crowded cities and towns.

Gifford Pinchot (1865–1946) founded the conservation movement in the United States in the late 1890s. Pinchot argued that the best use of nature was to improve the life of common citizens. Pinchot's ideas were inspired by his observations of environmental destruction and social inequality that resulted from unregulated wilderness exploitation during the 1800s. He was also influenced by the writings of other nineteenth century explorers and naturalists including George Perkins Marsh and John Wesley Powell. Pinchot had great influence during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt (1901–9), and he helped to steer conservation policies from the turn of the century until the 1940s. (Roosevelt was an avid hunter and an ardent conservationist in his own right.) Pinchot became the first head of the U.S. National Forest Service when it was established in 1905. Its motto, "The Land of Many Uses" reflects Pinchot's philosophy.

Conservation efforts have continued in the United States since the era of Roosevelt and Pinchot. Government agencies, groups of private citizens, and even business leaders have developed strategies to protect America's natural resources. The U.S. government has set aside millions of acres of public land as national forests and parks, and a large group of agencies now manage the nation's natural resources in a scientifically and economically reasonable manner. Universities and professional schools offer courses in resource management and natural sciences such as biology and geology. The discipline of ecology, the study of communities of plants and animals that live and interact in a specific environment, blossomed as scientists, engineers, and policy makers sought to understand the natural environments they were charged to protect.

Modern history: The ingenious evolution of water pumps

Although today's water pumps are very advanced compared to their older counterparts, a glimpse into the past allows us to better appreciate how this grandiose project evolved. Ever since 2000 BC, when the Egyptians invented a rudimentary device to draw water from wells, pumps have been an indispensable part of our lives. It is true that the pumps of that time are very simple by today's standards, but we must keep in mind that the first water pumps date back to about a thousand years of existence.

But… ¿What is a water pump?

Is a device that increases water pressure and distributes water from one point to another. It can be used to move water from one place to another for use as drinking or irrigation water, or to remove water from an area to prevent damage. The main function of Water pumps is to get rid of excess water or transfer water between two points.

The history of the water pump dates back to 2000 BC. Egyptians invented the shadoof to raise water. It uses a long suspended rod with a bucket at one end and a weight at the other. As we have said before, the Egyptians were the precursors of this ingenious device, however, it looked very different from modern water pumps. It does not exactly describe the operation of a pump, but this is the first proof from history that states that man has always been looking for gadgets to make it easy to transport water. As expected, this invention evolved progressively. In the year 200 BC Greek inventor and mathematician Ctesibius invented the water organ, an air pump with valves on the bottom, a tank of water in between them and a row of pipes on top. This is the main design that is now known as the reciprocating pump. After the fall of the Roman Empire, progress on these bombs was halted for almost a millennium and a half. Only until the period of enlightenment where emphasis was again placed on hydraulic science.

But we will move on to what has been one of the greatest inventions made by Archimedes, which was the screw pump and which is still used today. Simple but ingenious invention that is still seen today in various parts of the world. Rural areas that don’t have electricity use the screw pumps to raise water for irrigation. Another significant contribution during this era was made by Ctesibus from Alexandria in Egypt. He was the inventor of the force pump, which is a type of hand-operated pump. It consists of a cylinder along with a top-mounted plunger, which was used to draw water via valves.

Thanks to the fact that the invention of this invention was reborn during the period of enlightenment and over the next couple of centuries, new ideas and inventions began to flood the market, all of which led to the design of modern day pumps.

As clear examples we can highlight the inventors of the following generations of water pumps:

-Gear Pump: In the year 1593, a Frenchman named Nicolas Grollier de Serviere charted the early designs for a gear pump. Later in 1636, a German engineer named Pappenheim invented the double, deep-toothed rotary gear pump that is still used for lubricating engines even today.

-Centrifugal Pump: Invented in the 17th century by Denis Papin.

-Savery pump:  In the year 1698, an inventor Thomas Avery created a pump that used steam for operation.

As we have seen before, the first model of what would become a "water pump" was something so simple with a structure of a lever that served to raise water from a river, canal, reservoir to a well, for purposes of irrigation or domestic and animal use. That is why it shares an important connection with the basic needs of current civilizations. Regardless of the application, all pumps have one common purpose – to dispatch liquids. These devices progressed until modern times, fulfilling almost the same functions and needs compared to people in ancient times.

The Hohokam and the Ancient Waterways of Arizona

The Hohokam civilization, active in the arid region of present-day Arizona from 200 to 1450 CE, is known for their advanced water management techniques that enabled them to prosper in an area with scarce water resources. They constructed an extensive network of canals, surpassing the achievements of other ancient North American cultures. These canals efficiently redirected and distributed water for irrigation, supporting agriculture in the challenging desert environment. Their engineering prowess reflects a profound understanding of hydrology and the significance of effective water allocation. The Hohokam's influence can still be seen today in the modern canal systems that continue to sustain communities in the American Southwest. This affect today the Hohokam's mastery of water conservation offers invaluable lessons as we seek sustainable solutions for water-scarce regions around the world.

Roman Aqueducts (MODERN HISTORY)

The Roman aqueduct was a channel used to transport fresh water to highly populated areas. Aqueducts were amazing feats of engineering given the time period. Though earlier civilizations in Egypt and India also built aqueducts, the Romans improved on the structure and built an extensive and complex network across their territories. Evidence of aqueducts remain in parts of modern-day France, Spain, Greece, North Africa, and Turkey.

Aqueducts required a great deal of planning. They were made from a series of pipes, tunnels, canals, and bridges. Gravity and the natural slope of the land allowed aqueducts to channel water from a freshwater source, such as a lake or spring, to a city. As water flowed into the cities, it was used for drinking, irrigation, and to supply hundreds of public fountains and baths.

Roman aqueduct systems were built over a period of about 500 years, from 312 B.C.E. to C.E. 226. Both public and private funds paid for construction. High-ranking rulers often had them built; the Roman emperors Augustus, Caligula, and Trajan all ordered aqueducts built.
